skinner and Mrs. Ansley.
A report reached the ears of the ARGUS
this afternoon that Mr.. Porter Skinner,
of this city. had been united in marriage
in Chicago this morning to Mrs Ansley,
former housekeeper for Rev. r F Sweet.
Further inquiry failed to verify The re :
port, which, however. eminated from a
source which causes the ARGUS to be-
lieve 1t is thoroughly authentic. 1t was
learned, however, that Mr.. Skinner was
out of the city. and Rev, Sweet in Chi
cago, and that Mrs. Ansley was coming
back here to live Putting this and that
together, the report seems very piausi>

from fourteen to eighteen inclusive, "a pei
cent, against 21.3 in our first. Thus it is
seen that the greatest number of pupils
above the chart class, are enrolled between
the ages of nine and fourteen: and next
that the number of pupils enrolled between
the ages of fourteen and eighteen has grad
ually increased. This, together with a con-
slant increase in the average age of pupils.
is a very creditable showing, and denotes a
healthy condition of the school. The aver
age age of pupils in the primary department
(including chart class) is So years; in the
intermediate department, 1913 years; and in
the grammar department, 14.snearly. These
reports are compiled for the purpose of test
ing the workings of the school, and are sub
miuted for the inspection of the school board.
The next one will be made at the close OF
the school. A. z. VANCE, Principal.

Railroad Discrimination.
IRoNTON, Mo-, January II

IRoNTON, Mo, January IL, 1856.
Ed. RegtSter-A few days since | had oc-
casion to go 10 st. Louis, and return by that
train designated by the railroad officials as
the Arcadia Accommodation. Well. | paid
$40 from Ironton to ST. Louis and return
l found people riding from De Soto to st.
Louis, and return on half rates, or on what
is called Communication tickets" This was
on the same Accommodation train that runs
to Arcadia. De Soto is just half way between
Ironton and st. Louis. The question is why
do the railroad officials discriminate i'm favor
Of the people on one part of the road and
against Others on the same roadf The law
says they shall not. l am of the opinion
some railroad legislation Is needed at Jeffer-
son City, this winter, and we call the atten-
ton of members of the legislature down the
road to such matters. Arcadia, Pilot Knob,
Ironton, Middlebrook, Iron Mountain, are
IL Interested in this matter.
Respectfully,

Following is our second tabulated report
of the respective ages Of the pupils enrolled
in the several grades. From it may be learn
ed the whole number of pupils of each speci
fed age; the average age of the pupils in
each grade, and of the pupils as whole;
the number of pupils enrolled in each grade,
and total enrolment for December, exclud
ing a chart class of 80 pupils. 1t appears
from the table that the whole number of
pupils enrolled, and having regular recita-
tions in text books, Is $50, and that the total
age of such pupils in years is 172s; the aver
age of the pupils as a whole is 11.52, against
1850 in our first report. 1t is also learned
from the report that pupils from six to nine
years inclusive, constitute 26.6 per cent. of
the whole enrolment; those from ten TO

Ed. RegiSter-The weather being very dis
agreeable the holidays were spent quietly in
the valley but notwithstanding the inclimency
of the weather the enjoyment for the young
people, in the way of parties, was numer-
Gus, there being four in one week in and
around the burg. l don't think they could
have been any more numerous had the holt
days been fair and bright.
J. d. Palmer was home on visit recently.
Jim Reyburn is visiting in the valley.
Mr.. Phelps has moved back home to his
own property.
Skating has been the pasttime sport for
the boys during the past week.
We judge from the move that has been
made that we will soon have new road
master? So mote it be:
The schools are nearly all out around here
except the one at Thorn Thicket taught by
J. f. Breckenridge, We presume the next
teacher they get at this place will treat when
requested to, as trouble seems to prevail when
they DO not, the boys and our teacher had
quite time the two last days of our school,
but he didn't treat. The school at Cedar
| Grove and the one at Middleton district and
also the one Oil Pepper Street was all out the
same day, each district was well pleased with
| their teacher.
There Were several bids sent up on the
mail routes from this place, last week.
Mr.. Lafayette Alcorn, who is teaching
school at Graniteville, is taking a vacation of
two weeks and is spending the time in hunt
ing and visiting relatives and friends.
MIR. Peter Ruple has returned form the

Mrs. +. Tharp has returned from Black

Mr., Thomas Buford has gone to Texas.
Good luck to you, Thomas.
As l will endeavor to keep the readers of

penings of this valley for the n ext year l
wish them all happy and prosperous New
Year, and let each one try to do some good
deed. (Take the REGISTER would be one.)
We have no idea what good impressions may
be made by few careful chosen words, they
often take deep root where we least expect.
Let us give much attention to our words,
Lowing words will cost but little,
Journeying UP the hill of life,
But they make the weak and weary,
Stronger, Drawer for the strife.
Do you count them only trifes?
What to earth are sun and rain:
Never was kind word wasted,
Never was one said in vain"
There are many trials in life, it is true,
but If the farmer sat idly down and said,
"what is the use of my sowing wheat or
planting corn? Last years crops were fall
ures," he would soon starve, yet that is the
language in which some of us frequently in
dulge. We become weary and discouraged
and long to get away from the busy haunts
of men. This world is not a vale of tears,
but perfect bee hive, and there Is room for
drones. For fear this will be too lengthy, l
will close. LEU-EL-LYN.

ANNIE ELIZABETH, beloved daughter OF
William j. and Elizabeth Waters, aged IL
months.
Little Annie, though only Is months old al
the time OF her death, had attracted much
attention for her many bright and intelligent
little acts, and was the whole joy and life OF
her father and mother
Close her eyes with gentle fingers,
Cross her hands of snow,
Tell the angels where she fingers
They must whisper low.
Now she's with the angels yonder,
See her bright and smiling face;
She calls to her parents fondly,
Meet me at the pearly gates"
The parents answer echoes loudly,
1--WE viii meet you-meet you-
Darling little angel Annie,
When our earthly work is through
All is dark within our dwelling,
Lone Y are our hearts to-day,
For the one we loved so dearly
Has forever passed awoy.

Ed. Reqister--Although the thermometer
was IA degrees below zero this morning at
1880 O'Clock, / will try to send you u few
items.
Christmas passed off very quietly here.
We hardly knew it was Christmas.
Business is rather dull now on account of
the cold weather.
This is good time to get in the ice for
summer use, and ThOs. Sinclair has lmprov-
ed the opportunity by filling his Ice house.
Miss Lizzie Reese is in Ironton visiting her
brothers, d. +. and W. III. Reese.
Misses Minnie and Hattie Butts were visit
ing friends here after Christmas. They re-
turned to Piedmont New Years day.
Rev. G.. Fl. Adams preached here yester-
day in the new church to quite large con-
greSation. He very cordially invited minis
tiers of other denominations to occupy the
pulpit when not in use by their own preach
ers. The second quarterly meeting will be
held here the 18th and 18th inst.
he work of putting up the mill is no.
progressing very rapidly. T. P. Fitz is
having logs hauled to be ready as soon as the
mill is in running order.
Our town is still improving: Mr.. j.
Bergman is having an addition built to his
dwelling house. Very respectfully,
January 10th. ZINNIA.
Ed. Reqister-What has become of our
Des Are correspondent, "Uncle Isaac Has
the present cold snap frozen him up; if not,
why his silence?
The maxim that profession is one thing
and practice another appears to be verified
in our new Methodist church, opened up by
Bro. Adams on Saturday evening. Before
the building of the church we had union
Sunday School in the school house and an
organ purchased for its use; but on
Saturday the organ was transferred to the
church with the expectation that it would,
as usual, furnish music to all, irrespective of
creed or denomination; but a change came
DER the spirit of their dreams when Brother
Adams announced, in the most autocratic
manner, that a Methodist Sunday School
would now be organized, thus ignoring the
the union acknowledgement. The effect has not
been to pour oil on the troubled waters, and
there will be decided opposition by the non
MethOdists to the keeping of the organ and
the Sunday School literature for strictly see
tartan purposes. ST. Paul says, 'now abide
with you these three: faith, hope and char
ity, but the greatest of these is charity" but
the illiberality displayed in this case shows
that this excellent advice does not amount
to much where sectarian bigotry has sway.
Miss Fannie Semands is spending a few
days at home, but will soon return to Pied
mont.
L will now stop, for 'Uncle Isaac" may
have something to say. Let this escape the
waste basket and oblige, BLUE STONE.
